On Tuesday, Sir Keir Starmer will commit to “reversing a decade of regression” and ” restoring the foundations” of the UK economy.
In a highly anticipated address delivered in the gardens of Downing Street before the parliament reconvenes next week, the prime minister will recognize the current condition of public finances yet assure that he will “undertake the necessary efforts to eradicate 14 years of decay” while maintaining that the former Conservative government is to blame.
He will assert that his government will not proceed with a “business as usual” approach now that Labour is in leadership, emphasizing that there will be “no more politics of pretence, concealing the problems, or discord and diversion”.
In response, Conservative Party chairman Richard Fuller remarked that the speech would amount to “nothing more than a theatrical display designed to divert the public’s attention from the commitments Starmer made that he never intended to uphold”.
